I think that all new TVs need to be attachable to a treadmill, and exercise bike, a stair climber, etc. that wil shut the device down if a certain cadence or time limit is not met.
I know I'd be in WAY better shape, and so would my wife.
Perhaps a quota system: 1 hour of low treadmill activity will give you 15 minutes of TV viewing. 1 hour of high treadmill activity will give you 1 hour of viewing.
I've done very little research on programming, but what about specialty programming like, say the Howard Stern show? Is there a way I can look up such data on my own?
Hey, they will be if you let Santa in on your list.
I get a CPU upgrade nearly every year, but I don't like to be more on the value-edge of the proce/technology curve rather than on the bleeding (wallet hemhorage) edge.
Hm. I had satellite (DirecWay) last year, and the best ping times I had were in the 700ms range. Those were from the Direcway content servers themselves, but adding some land-hops should not add 2300ms.
Ho about an 'old-timer' that detests spending ~$1400 for a $400 computer. I know the $1400 number includes a fancy new 32MB (only 32MB, really?) CompactFlash card, but I'd rather have the 512 USB 2.0 flash drive for ~$75 anyway.
Those specs are really weak for $1400. I'd buy (put together) the $400 model and then spend $75 rigging it to run silently.
"Smaller, faster, QUIETER" Faster is the most important aspect to me, with QUIETER coming in second. Even with five computers running 24/7, people are still suprised when I tell them they're all on. Smaller is not really an issue, as I have my own computer room, but I don't believe in a server-sized case in a non-server application.
I would take a CRT over an LCD, but only because I bought a nice 21" Viewsonic for $185. I'm not made of money, so getting the LCD equivelent (one that can run 1600 x 1200) for over $900 is not an option.

Nope. We had to run Microsoft Bob.
Simply amazing. Many thanks!

Just my $0.02.
Though I was most impressed by their 55" LCD screen.
No, LG presented their 74" model. It was posted in three-foot letters on the South building.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
What is a "'merkins"?

Not a problem. My post was lonely. :)
A little over-acting in some parts, but I liked it.
What made this funnier is that only your first post was AC.
The power company I work for is running fiber through gas lines, using a fiber jacket that is non-corrosive.
Granted, this will likely not help the guy out in the middle of nowhere anytime soon.

A 20" CRT for $750? No, not really. I bought my 21" Viewsonic for $185, and I currently have it running 1600 x 1200 at 125hz.
:)
I'll bet you can't even find a 15" LCD that can run 1t 1600 x 1200 near that price.
I'd help you out there, but my favorite site (www.dassess.com) has been taken offline.
Try the Sony SVR2000. It's standalone, and I bought mine for $199.

If I would have previewed, maybe I could have stopped myself from looking like a jackass.
Maybe. Just maybe.
That's what I get for not previewing.
Doh.
A technical DIY project not news for nerds? Are you kidding?
Couple that with alleged government interference, and you have stuff that matters.
What do you think the C and M in ICBM stand for?
Though that may be easier for those AOLers out there.
Here's a nice example:

Naw, I'd switch out her operating system with Microsoft Bob.
Remember that? It's BUI consisted of a picture of a room, and you'd click on a filing cabinet to get files, etc. Sounds like just her speed.
